How Soon
Yearning Starlight: Unveiling the Emotions in Martha Wainwright's 'How Soon'
Lyrics
How soon will I be seeing you?
Asking about the time frame for meeting the person being addressed.
How soon?
Reiteration of the inquiry about the timing.
I wish I really knew
Expressing a desire to have knowledge or certainty about the timing.
When will I be hearing
Inquiring about when the speaker will hear specific desired words.
Words I want to hear?
Refers to words the speaker longs to hear from the addressed person.
Pretty little love words
Mention of affectionate, endearing expressions.
Whispered in, my ear
Implies a desire for intimate communication.
How soon will I be seeing you
Repeating the query regarding the timing of meeting.
And dance the way we used to do?
Asking about the possibility of dancing together as they used to.
I see the starlight gleaming
Observing the starlight, possibly indicating a romantic ambiance.
Forgive me if I'm dreaming
Apologizing if the speaker's hopes or thoughts are unrealistic.
Tell me, honey, now
Requesting an immediate response or answer from the addressed person.
How soon?
Reiteration of the inquiry about the timing.
And when will I be hearing
Repetition of the query about when specific words will be heard.
Words I want to hear?
Reiterates the longing for affectionate expressions to be spoken.
Pretty little love words
Repetition of desire for intimate, loving words.
Whispered in, in my ear
Emphasizing the desire for whispered endearments.
How soon will I be seeing you
Repeating the inquiry about the timing of the meeting and dancing together.
And dance the way we used to do?
Expressing a wish to relive the past joy of dancing together.
I see the starlight gleaming
Reiteration of observing starlight, hinting at a romantic setting.
Forgive me if I'm dreaming
Apologizing if the speaker's thoughts are unrealistic or too hopeful.
Tell me, honey, now
Requesting an immediate response or answer from the addressed person.
How soon?
Reiteration of the inquiry about the timing.
I see the starlight gleaming
Reiteration of observing starlight, suggesting a romantic mood.
Forgive me if I'm dreaming
Apologizing if the speaker's hopes or thoughts are unrealistic.
Tell me, honey, now
Requesting an immediate response or answer from the addressed person.
How soon?
Reiteration of the inquiry about the timing.
